Ortiz Bonito Ventresca Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil
In 1891, Bernardo Ortiz de Zárate began purchasing anchovies and north coast tuna from coastal fisherman, pickling the fish in wooden barrels to preserve them and sell the following day throughout Castile. Over 100 years later, Ortiz is one of the most famous Spanish companies in the world.
‘Ventresca’, the oil-rich belly fillet of the white tuna (also known as the albacore or in Spain as the “bonito del norte”), preserved in olive oil. An absolute delicacy.
